Re: Monotub - how long till Golden Teachers colonize? [Re: Shreddr1]

Some clarification on why spore syringes directly to grain isn't recommended.

If the bag looked somewhat like that picture, the thick growth of the mycelium and the yellow metabolites are signs of bacterial contamination. Just for further clarification, I know this can be confusing, I started just like you with YouTube and have since learned a bit.

BUT since you're already here... common practice these days seems to be spawning to fruiting conditions. I'm not 100% what your setup is just from the pictures, but maybe some FAE (fresh air exchange) could help with colonization. It did make a difference with my tubs. So if you have any holes taped up or something like that, switch the tape for micropore tape or polyfill. Apart from that, all you can do is wait and hope for the best at this point.
Also CVG is likely the best kinds substrate for cubes, as mentioned. Where are you located? Maybe someone can help you out with finding cheap sources. What's the budget?

Appreciate all the input I can get. Willing to ask (possibly annoying) questions, but also good at taking shit.

Thanks fam!

"yellow metabolites" Thanks, there was no yellow and it wasn't quite that thick.
It's surprising to see that girl was wrong. She was so cute! lol

"you shot MS directly into vendor grain bags (not recommended)" I understand thanks; then how?

"Your substrate looks bad" why?

"switch the tape for micropore tape or polyfill." To get it to colonize? I thought that was to get it to 'fruit'.

"Where are you located" Central Florida, USA. Home Depot, Lowes & Ace Hardware do not stock coco coir or vermiculite. I got the vermiculite on Amazon - not too cheap.

So, I've opened the lid once now, to take the pics. Should I replace the packing tape on the holes with polyfill (which I have) to get it to colonize?

Should I mist it with distilled water again? How much?

Again, how long should it take to fully colonize? Should it be fully colonized now (10 days)?



Yellow or not, thick or not. MSS contain contaminants. No way to tell, but it can work. It's unreliable though and therefore not advised. Again, doesn't mean it will certainly fail.

PF Tek or clean out your culture on agar, before transfering it to grain.

Can't comment on the substrate. No experience with what you're using, but it seems very dense. That's about all I can comment here.

As I said, people spawn directly to fruiting conditions nowadays. Both air and light will not harm colonizing, on the contrary, they help. You just limit airflow a little more (by packing polyfill tightly or using multiple layers of micropore tape) until full colonization, then increase FAE to encourage pinning (by loosening polyfill or removing some layers of micropore).

Not located in US, so can't help there, maybe someone else can.

I'd say yes. Increasing FAE certainly won't hurt it. (Although I don't know if that's true for different substrates, it's true for CVG and the likes)

Misting only if it's too dry. Can't really tell cuz of substrate ur using. If field capacity was proper at spawn, you should be fine.

Colonization varies a lot. Impossible to tell, but 10 days isn't too long for sure. I taped my first tub shut and it took a whole month. Second I used polyfill (learned, like you are doing right now) for the holes and it was done in 2 weeks.

Lastly and most importantly... learn to use the search function, keep reading and asking quesitons. Eventually the puzzle will get solved. And patience, lots of patience.

Hope this is helpful. Feel free to message me if you need more help. I'm still new myself, but I'll try my best =)
